This research deliberates about the interpretations of Ye Lang on Lao Zi. Ye regards Lao Zi as the birth of Chinese aesthetics. In his opinion, the pre-Qin period, Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties are the starting point of the development of Chinese aesthetics. He defines the category of Chinese aesthetics as "aesthetic intention" rather than "aesthetic theory" or "aesthetic concept". As regards Lao Zi, Ye Lang focuses on the concepts of "Tao, Qi, Xiang", defining the five properties of "Tao", which are "primeval chaos", "creation of all", "non-existence of will", " self-motion", and "unification of nothing and ens". He also explains the fact that "Tao", "Qi", and "Xiang" generate changes such as "with", "without ","false" and "true", as well as the development in "beauty", "delicacy" and "flavor". In the end, one reaches the highest level of observation is to get rid of one's ignorance, bias and superstition beliefs to clear the mind and allow it be tranquil and serene, just the clean surface of a mirror without any impurities or pollution.
